Cripple with Crutch and Wooden Leg

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a figure walking with two crutches. The line art depicts a person bundled in heavy clothing that conceals most of their form, emphasizing a hunched back and a determined stride. The facial expression conveys strain or effort, and the background is devoid of detail. The lines suggest an expressionist style.
